I recall...long ago...some israeli politician bitching that a Palestinian state would be a "dagger aimed at the heart of Israel." He was exactly right. And what fucking use is a dagger against 1,000 combat aircraft and 2,000 main battle tanks?
Can you imagine the conflageration if Hamas was armed like Israel? Curious. You chose to emphasize the dagger from the quoted metaphor, but conveniently left out where it was placed. You're not an idiot so I have to conclude that the omission was intentional in an attempt to make a cheap point. Using your analogy, Hamas strikes with a dagger knowing that the broadsword sent in return will strike an innocent bystander. Who's responsible?

Meanwhile the fucking Israelis murder thousands and scream "help, help... we're being attacked."Would your opinion change if drug cartels in northern Mexico indiscriminately started launching rockets into Arizona? Would you measure response in civilian body count? Poor little drug cartel, they only have a dagger. How do you tell friend from foe?
There are three glaring issues with you Hamas aploogists...
1. You equate Hamas with Palastinians.
2. Moral equivocation of cause.
3. Your desire to deploy accountants instead of generals.
